Gina met Umbi while on vacation in Naples, at a time when she had really given up on love.
Little did she know, her Airbnb host at the beautiful apartment on Via Ventaglieri in the Historic Center of Naples would once become her husband.
Their story began with a first date on the very last night of her trip, August 16th, 2021. From that moment on, they never went a single day without speaking.
Umbi visited Gina in Berlin every month until he made the big move to be with her shortly after.
Now, they’re bonded for life - a reminder that true love finds you when you least expect it. <3

Accommodation
We’ve compiled some tips for possible places to stay, depending on your plans and priorities.
I’d like to explore Naples and enjoy the city.
For a mix of charm, history, and convenience, stay in the Historic Center (Centro Storico) or near the Chiaia waterfront. The Historic Center offers narrow streets, stunning architecture, and vibrant local life, while Chiaia is stylish, close to the sea, and reasonably near Lost Paradise.
Where to book: Both areas have great options on Booking.com (search for “Naples Historical Center” or “Chiaia”) and beautiful apartments on Wonderfulitaly.eu.
Options in Chiaia include: Piazza dei Martiri, “Elegant Apartment” or these apartments all situated in the same building (perfect for groups or family): Colonna Apartment 1, Colonna Apartment 2 and Colonna Apartment 4.

Chiaia
I want a quiet and scenic retreat.
Posillipo is a perfect choice! This upscale, serene neighborhood offers breathtaking sea views, lush greenery, and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s also conveniently close to the wedding venue.
Where to book: Explore Booking.com for seaside apartments or stay at Best Western Hotel Paradiso, known for its stunning views of the Bay of Naples.
Posillipo
I’m short on time and need convenient transport.
If your trip is brief and you want easy access to the airport or other transport options, consider staying in Chiaia or Vomero. These areas are well-connected, comfortable, and make it easy to get around.
Where to book: Look for hotels or apartments on Booking.com.
I want to stay close to the wedding venue.
For the easiest access to Lost Paradise, look for accommodations in Pozzuoli. This area is peaceful and scenic, but keep in mind that it is far from the city center and major sights. If you plan to explore Naples, it may be less convenient, as there’s not much to do nearby beyond enjoying the coastal views.
Where to book: Search for “Pozzuoli” for great options on Booking.com offering lovely views close to the venue.

Arrival
Feel free to reach out with any questions about your arrival! We recommend booking your tickets and accommodation as early as possible to secure the best options. Depending on where you’re staying, taking a taxi might be the most convenient way to travel. Please note that public transportation in Naples can be unpredictable! ;)
We will be organizing transportation from Chiaia to Lost Paradise on the wedding day.
